Hi Class, Today I introduced the concept of algorithm which is a list of finite well defined instructions to do a desired task or calculating a function. It is used for calculations, drawing graphics in computers, processing data and automate processes.
As Extension Please play with the TURTLE game. Learn to write algorithms that can be used to draw the following: 3) Circle 4) Star 5) House Copy them into your book for evidence of your work
